1. Lenin was not a German agent - this is a myth.

Lenin was not a German agent - this is an old myth.
Lenin recognizes the independence of Poland on December 10, 1917 >>> after the German capitulation (November 1918), the Polish elite wants to return their old colonies in the east (the lands of Ukrainians, Byelorussians and Lithuanians) >>> the Polish army makes an aggression against the Belarusian-Lithuanian SSR on February 28, 1919 near the Shchara river >>> August 9, 1919 Poland occupies Minsk, and May 7, 1920 - Kiev (is not polish national territory) >>> On May 14, 1920, a Soviet counterattack was launched, which was stopped at the gates of Warsaw (this right-wing propaganda calls an "invasion of Poland").
In general, the term world revolution only means that the working class in Europe and other developed countries gets power, it does not mean that the USSR "conquers them", because it contradicts the policy of socialism.
According to Lenin's plan: the USSR shows the achievements of socialism >>> the workers of Europe see this and start a revolution in own countries >>> the new government becomes friendly to the USSR and big wars go to the past (Lenin considered them the consequence of contradictions in the capitalist system).
